I had to put the Sleep() somewhere else (see the source below). I do not get
the error message you got (maybe it has something to do with a different set
of compiler flags: I noticed you did not use -mthreads).
I suspect it has something to do with the cleaning up of the thread
resources (TLS / stack) on a secondary thread but I cannot find any related
sourcecode in the cywin dll sources. The problem is timing related: making
the sleep too short crashes the program after repeated runs (>4) on my
machine and running the program without Sleep() under strace.exe succeeds.
Is there anyone who can point me in the correct direction?
What code is inserted by the compiler to get the program running?
Is there any documentation available about thread support design and
implementation?
